Maybe they weren’t satisfied with leaving us on one cliffhanger so they decided to leave us on two!
In fairness, this is based off the manga so the story wasn’t necessarily paced out with anime episode lengths in mind.

Right? It wasn’t a bad story or anything, but the timing was kind of crazy.

Be right back, gonna wake up Ordelo.
Damn, Ordelo’s got hands.
Just kinda more of the same. At least Aki’s fight was pretty cool.

How are the actual mysteries
Pretty decent, but when I say “the newest thing from Shonen Jump” I mean there’s literally just one chapter out right now. Also, it feels like the story is going to be about the main character trying to live a normal life while he happens to solve mysteries along the way. We’ll see. Like I said, one chapter.

It definitely feels like it’s supposed to be the gorilla he’s looking for, but it seems weird that they’d recruit someone to this organization who wasn’t born in the empire. It doesn’t seem like that sort of organization.

Started reading Syd Craft: Love Is a Mystery, the newest thing from Shonen Jump. It’s the story of a great detective who hides the fact that he has no interest at all in being a great detective, but was rather forced into it by fate. The first chapter was really fun, but the ending had me worried that it’ll end up going into love triangle or even full-on harem BS. We’ll see.

I started watching a couple shows I wasn’t following before. Anyways, here’s where things are at:
- Blue Box: Still good, but it’s moving very slowly. When I read the manga I already had over a hundred chapters to burn through at once, so experiencing it like this is very very different.
- Dandadan: An absolutely heart-wrenching episode. The animation team executed excellently on this one.
- 365 Days to the Wedding: This is one of the shows I just got caught up on. I appreciate a show that features adult main characters. Overall it’s quite fun. Not as good as Wotakoi, but still good. Cutest ED I’ve ever seen.
- Yakuza Fiance: Same comments as above, really, except that there’s nothing cute here. If you’re annoyed at how the main characters in romance anime always seem to be good people, look no further.
- Mecha-ude: A while ago I said that this show is great at being charming and funny, and bad at being serious or edgy. Unfortunately it seems to be putting most of its screen time into serious and edgy stuff. I’ll keep watching it, but I’m finding myself enjoying it less than the other shows I’m watching this season.

I wonder if syosetu.com has a character limit on light novel titles. This is getting out of control.
- Comment on Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms • Mecha-ude (TV) - Episode 7 discussion 1 week ago:
Glad to see Hikaru has some new bodyguards, but they don’t seem all that more helpful than what he already had in terms of… anything tbh.
I hadn’t really thought about it, but if the Mecha-ude can’t normally move without a human it’s extremely unclear how they ever lasted in their own world.

These multi-chapter fights don’t really do it for me. It’s not what I read One-Punch Man for.
- Comment on [Discussion] Oshi no Ko - Ch. 166 [END] 1 week ago:
Well, that certainly was one of the endings of all time. Aqua decided ages ago that he’d take revenge on Ai’s killer no matter the cost to himself. I don’t know how many people expected him to actually get himself killed doing it, especially after the movie seemed like it would be revenge enough, but here we are.

Mecha-Ude
This one is weird to me. When it’s trying to be funny or charming I think it almost always succeeds. When it’s trying to be cool or edgy (most of the time unfortunately) it almost always fails.

Cool, thanks for the review!

Fun fact: in addition to the meaning we usually see (underestimate), nameru/舐める can also mean “to lick or taste”. So the title can translate to either “Don’t underestimate bread” or “Don’t taste bread”.

Sailor Moon
I finished the Sailor Moon manga last week. It was pretty good! Between the manga and the TV show I’d say I prefer the manga more. The TV show had a lot of filler, and the filler gave lots of opportunities to flesh out the characters of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus especially, but it was a much better time experiencing the story at a sane pace instead of waiting dozens of episodes at a time for something to finally happen. The last arc especially was much better this way.
Char’s Daily Life
I’m nearly done with the second volume of this one. It’s a goofy AU where Char and other Zeon characters, primarily from UC Gundam’s One-Year-War, are living in modern-day Japan. Char has amnesia and is just trying to get by. It actually ended up feeling a lot like Gintama, but not quite as cleverly written as Gintama. Still a fun read, and well worth having bought for the cover art alone.

I’m curious to hear peoples’ overall impressions of this one; I was considering picking it up.

I had no idea this was getting an anime! Something to look forward to with the new year I guess.

I know Aqua said from the very beginning that he intended to get revenge no matter the cost to himself, but it’s still a little surprising to see it end like this.

I’m two episodes from the end right now, and once it got past the slow start this show was really excellent!

Feels weird to say that one of my favorite isekai is a shoujo mech anime, but you’re absolutely right.

Well I guess if you’re offering… does wjs stand for anything in particular? Or is that too private a question?
- Comment on What are your best romance animes with an assertive male protagonist? 2 weeks ago:
Now that you mention it, I’m not sure whether to call Bravern a romance either. Romance is kind of the focus, but it kind of isn’t. Either way it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

- Comment on Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms • Mecha-ude (TV) - Episode 4 discussion 4 weeks ago:
This show is a weird one to me. The humor is for the most part really good. The mecha-ude are very charming. Any time it tries to do anything serious though it feels like the writing takes a drop in quality.

Oh, I don’t care that much about whether the season comes to its own satisfying conclusion. I was mostly wondering this because I was considering maybe picking up the light novels when I have the time.
- Comment on Teaser Visual for Season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries 4 weeks ago:
Anyone know how long this one is? I’m curious to know whether Season 2 is likely to finish the story.

Does the anilist api give you the release date of individual episodes? If so you could do a check to see if they’re all the same day. Or is that what you were getting at when talking about parsing nyaa?
- Comment on Kidou Senshi Gundam: Fukushuu no Requiem • GUNDAM: Requiem for Vengeance - Episode 1 discussion 4 weeks ago:
Maybe for shows like this that are dropped all at once a discussion thread for the whole show would make sense. I guess most shows are too long to watch in one sitting though, unlike this one.
